The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GOOD FOLLOW - Darian Jenkins on NWSL Playoffs, + Caitlin Clark Tees Off, & More

A rough season, I feel, for my Chicago girls. But she does it with her right. You know she's going to her left. You know she's going to her left. The frame of the goal is to her left, and you give it to her. I mean, and it's because Banda attracts so many players. So I think she's a huge asset in that way. Do I think she defines the attack for Orlando? No.

But it does make teams have to adjust the way that they set up against them, but... It's the same battle with Kansas City. I mean, Shawinga muscled the last time she scored against them. She muscled off a couple of players. Morlando went 5v1 and ended up sliding one past Anna Morehouse.

I don't think it affects them at all. In fact, I think that is something that that team needed watching. Not that I'm saying there should be violence, but I like in women's sports when there's somebody who's just ready to hit, somebody who's ready to kind of bunk up and be like back the hell off. Like, We need more of this like villain era in women's sports because men do it all the time.

They're not criticized for it. I mean, men do crazy stuff and they're so allowed to come back and play. Don't even get me started on that. But to just show that, hey, we're here for her. We're rallying around Tamasha Winga and that they're not here to play. You're going to stand over our girl. Like,

I think it just added a little bit more fire that Kansas City honestly didn't even need going into this match, knowing that Shawinga is a player we saw Flacco say at numerous press conferences is targeted. She is. There's no way to stop this player unless you try to hit her before she starts running, because as soon as she starts going, it's a goal scoring opportunity.

So that's how players are just going to have to deal with it. I do not want that player to get hurt. Absolutely not. But it comes with being an incredible athlete. I mean, we watch Messi get packed. especially when he was still in Europe all the time. So it's not a bad comparison to have teams have to try to knock you down before you get going to Lionel Messi.

I think they probably had a great recovery week. I mean, you've seen Kansas City and their field and their assets and all of their trainers and all the fancy things they have there now. I'm sure she's fully recovered, rested up. I expect 100% Tamasha Winger to come show out. I think she lives for games like this as well.

There's not a team I've ever seen her play intimidated against or like she can't handle what's coming to her. especially when it's do or die as playoffs and the semifinals. And you could get to host at your home stadium if you win this match. I think that she'll be good. And if she's not, we're not going to know. I don't think she's going to show it at all.

Andy is a player that is kind of the unsung hero every season. She's one of those players that She's not doing the flashiest of stuff, but you watch the way that Andy plays. And I know this from playing with her. She's constantly organizing, constantly setting you up to plug holes defensively.
